What is hplusroadmap?
We are a group chat, started 15 years ago, focusing on transhumanism, writing code, and hacking on biology. We do mad science. We build. We also have some funding available for sufficiently interesting projects.
Read more background here: https://diyhpl.us/wiki/hplusroadmap
We have some other items on the wiki, like the internet's largest collection of potential human genetic modifications: https://diyhpl.us/wiki/genetic-modifications/
Topics
Things we tend to focus around:
- do-it-yourself biology, genetic engineering, gene therapy, biohacking, synthetic biology
- cryonics
- molecular nanotechnology
- DNA synthesis machine development
- brain emulation, brain uploading, computational neuroscience
- nootropics
- molecular biology, polymerase, enzyme engineering, protein engineering, fusion proteins, directed evolution, gene-editing
- open-source hardware development
- self-replicating machines
- robots, mechanical automation, machining, electronics
- space colonization, habitats, mining, communication, transportation
- nutrition, bodybuilding
- computer architecture, supercomputing
- open-source software development
- transhumanism
- life extension, anti-aging, longevity research
- cryptography, bitcoin technology development
